Testing infants for controlled substances or controlled substance analogs. 146.0255(2)
(2) Testing. Any hospital employe who provides health care, social worker or intake worker under
ch. 48 may refer an infant to a physician for testing of the infant's bodily fluids for controlled substances or controlled substance analogs if the hospital employe who provides health care, social worker or intake worker suspects that the infant has controlled substances or controlled substance analogs in the infant's bodily fluids because of the mother's use of controlled substances or controlled substance analogs while she was pregnant with the infant. The physician may test the infant to ascertain whether or not the infant has controlled substances or controlled substance analogs in the infant's bodily fluids, if the physician determines that there is a serious risk that there are controlled substances or controlled substance analogs in the infant's bodily fluids because of the mother's use of controlled substances or controlled substance analogs while she was pregnant with the infant and that the health of the infant may be adversely affected by the controlled substances [or controlled substance analogs]. If the results of the test indicate that the infant does have controlled substances or controlled substance analogs in the infant's bodily fluids, the physician shall make a report under
s. 46.238.
146.0255 Note
NOTE: Sub. (2) is shown as affected by two acts of the 1995 legislature and as merged by the revisor under s. 13.93 (2) (c). The bracketed language indicates the correct terminology.
1995 Wis. Act 448 changed the term "controlled substances" to "controlled substances or controlled substance analogs" throughout this section.
1995 Wis. Act 386 added a reference to "controlled substances", but that act did not take the treatment by Act 448 into account.
146.0255(3)

sub. (2) shall provide the infant's parents or guardian with all of the following information:
